Alms doesn’t mean just giving. Alms means accepting the man who sits next to you and not rejecting him even in the thoughts. By having mercy on others, you show that you are God-like. The beggar stretches out his hand not to seek, but to give you the Kingdom of Heaven, and you do not notice! Remember: the Beggars are Biblical personalities. Do you want to become reach? Give everything you have! And you will receive double! Man does not calculate much when he will receive, but he remembers when he will give. Learn to live not only for yourselves, but to live for all who are with you. God’s mercy cancels the Hell (the judgement).
Elder Arseny Papachok
